'Oasis' Review: Netflix Resort Drama More 'Elite' Than 'White Lotus'
If I were to tell you the new Netflix series “Oasis” begins with a flash-forward to a shocking crime at a luxury resort, your eyes might glaze over faster than I could say “The White Lotus.” The obvious comparison isn’t wrong, per se; “Oasis” even includes frequent B-roll of waves crashing on the beach, the same visual device “White Lotus” creator Mike White uses to suggest the turmoil beneath the hotel’s glittering surface. But “Oasis” hails from Spain, the same country that supplied the streaming service with eight seasons of the deliciously trashy teen soap “Elite” before that series concluded in 2024. In truth, “Oasis” plays out more like the latter show than a prestigious, high-minded exploration of class dynamics and extreme wealth. The characters are thin and the plot often ludicrous, but the sight of beautiful people making bad decisions is soothing enough to override one’s critical faculties.
Inside Netflix's Oasis cast including Money Heist guest star
Netflix's latest thriller features several faces that sharp-eyed audiences might recognise.
Oasis dropped on the streaming service late last week, with all episodes now available. The show has quickly garnered viewer attention, being likened to a fusion of HBO's The White Lotus and the teen series Gossip Girl.
While the eight-part drama hasn't yet accumulated sufficient critical reviews for a Rotten Tomatoes rating, early responses suggest it could become this summer's essential viewing.
The synopsis describes Oasis as the nation's most opulent holiday destination – an exclusive paradise for the ultra-wealthy, complete with private beaches, VIP amenities, and fortress-level security.

Netflix's 8-Part The White Lotus Replacement Becomes an Instant Global Streaming Hit
It's been roughly a year since The White Lotus last had the internet dissecting every glance and grudge between wealthy resort guests. Netflix appears to have found its replacement fix in an unexpected place: Spain.
Oasis, the platform's all-new eight-part mystery thriller, dropped just two days ago and has already exploded into a genuine global phenomenon, landing in the Top 10 TV Shows in 75 territories and climbing to No. 3 worldwide. The new mystery series is just behind Harlan Coben's I Will Find You and Teach You a Lesson.
For a foreign language drama with no major international stars, that kind of instant, near-universal reach is a significant milestone, and a sign that audiences are hungry for exactly the kind of glossy, secret-laden resort drama that Oasis is delivering.
